I'll make them pay. Ryan, little pep in my step today. I don't know if you can tell. Well, I mean, I went to probably the most fun Reds game I've been to just for sheer baseball last night. You know, they were ahead. Then they were behind, but then they came back and won. It was great. Only issue was it was Bark in the Park

night. Oh. Which is, should be against the law. Did you not know? You didn't know, right? Of course I didn't know. Every year when I find out it's bark and the park night, you're exactly right. I would give them away on the show. Like, I'm not going to go into voluntarily to share space with a bunch of dogs. They get a huge crowd. It was always huge crowd. They combined bark in the park with three to one night. That's three. That's three dollar beer, two dollar hot dog, one dollar ice cream. Oh. So you get, not only do you get the dog people, you get the, you get the. cheap skates and the combination is a great crowd but Drew I don't understand the appeal I'm just going to tell you I forget about the fact that I'm not a dog person I don't understand the appeal of bark in the park if you have dogs why do you want to bring them to the baseball park get him out the house something to do tired of leaving them at home when you're not like I want to see how Thai France is playing for the twins they're happy to be out they see other

dogs they probably have treats for the dogs when they get to the game yeah how many How do dogs are you talking, though? Did you see like 10 or like 100? There's a bark in the park section. And unfortunately, I went with the turkey hunter and he wanted to get something to eat that was in the bark in the park section. Oh, he led you right to it. I think he did it on purpose. So when we walked over there, you know, Shannon, they all start smelling you and licking you.

And like, if humans did that, we would sue them. Of course. There are people in prison for that. That's called sexual harassment. Exactly. But the dogs get to do it and everybody. So I didn't know. I would have stayed on the other side.

Summer Valley, dogs want to see the Summer Revelli too. Yes. But if you have a dog. I've got three dogs. Do you want to take it to a baseball park? Absolutely not. No, I'm a big dog person, but I'm not taking my dogs to a baseball game. I want to enjoy the game.

Is that because yours misbehave? Yes. Well, I mean, they all misbehave. You know, and then they start, wow, wow, wow, wow. They're just being good boys. I hate the people. So I posted online like, oh no, it's Bark in the Park Night. And then, you know, I'm kind of on the Louisville fan radar right now.

And so they're all like, the worst person in the world is worse or something. And this is all I want to say about dogs. I don't hate dogs. I'm genuinely like a little scared of them. Yes. That's the thing. It's no big deal. You know, I was bit when I was a little kid.

I was bit when I was drunk. delivered furniture for casual living and appliance. Does that place still open here in Lexington? I don't know if it's still open or not. When you left, they just couldn't keep up with the orders. Casual living, boys. It ain't much, but it's honest work? The guy would go, he would just go, the other guy that drove the truck.

And like the boss would tell us to do something stupid and he'd go, casual living boys. Casual living boys. Casual living boys. But I got bit twice, and so they just freaked me out. But everybody acts like that makes you a bad person, but it seems to be totally fine to hate cats. Yes. There are people who will openly talk about hating cats.

I hate cats. I love dogs. I hate cats. Okay. So why does it make me a bad person for not liking dogs? But it's perfectly acceptable for you to not like cats. I'm fine with cats. Dogs are much better than cats.

Based on what? Based on they're not terrible. And no one would have shit and... You don't need a litter box for a dog. No one would have chicken in the park night. That's true. Yeah. Bring your cobra.

to the park. Dogs are better behaved, I guess. First of all, you would never see a cat in the park night. No. Can you put a cat on a leash? Okay. Why couldn't you? Because they're crazy.

You never see it. No. But why couldn't you put a cat on a leash? I think you would just flip and jump and go crazy. There are some cats I think you can that can adapt to that. Have you ever seen a cat on a leash? Yeah, like the vet. You're supposed to bring them on a leash when you can walk it.

But you never see somebody walk in their cats. cat down the street. No, never. Why? There's just things we accept that I don't understand. They behave differently. And we're going to get all the crazy cat women calling us now. First of all, I like cat. Honestly, cat people, I think, are, you know, a little different, but I like them.

But I'm just saying, I've never understood with animals are, okay, you can eat chicken, you can eat cow. But then you pick other animals. and it's like it's insane to eat. Yeah. And we just, we just arbitrarily do it. Really, honestly, Drew,

it's based on cuteness. No, it is. It's based on cuteness. We'll eat a pig. A pig's not very cute. We will eat a pig. We'll eat a chicken. We will eat a cow.

We'll eat fish. We'll eat duck. We'll eat sheep. We'll eat all that. But dog. And then, I mean, I would never do this. But in horse, like in other countries they do it.

Yeah. Here it's insane. So anyway, my point, all this to say, they should not have a dog and bark in the park night. I don't like it. But I did enjoy the game where the Ritz were behind, came back and won. I still can't imagine you even in a scene with a bunch of dogs at once.

Like, I'm surprised you didn't get to the gate and go right back to your car and say, I'll watch it at home. I'm out. I'm out. The Bally Network. By the way, it's Ask Anything Wednesday. So 859-280-22. You can ask any question.

It's a good chance to ask about gossip. thoughts, our lives, whatever. UK sports. It's Ask Anything Wednesday, 859-280-2-80-cent. Second thing. You know, we are normally at KS Bar. We are. We've been in studio this summer while we're doing the renovations at KS-Barr, which requires me, Shannon, to do something you've had to do a lot, which is interact with people. Yes. Yes. No, I mean, like, but not in people I don't know, like not in my comfort zone. Like in the elevator or something? And you hit my point, which is the elevator. Now, a lot of people listening here deal with this on their daily basis, but I literally dread when the elevator opens. I so don't want there to be anybody else in there.

Yeah. Because it is the most awkward conversation on earth. And no matter whether you know, like the person or not, I don't know what to say to these people. You don't have to say anything. Can you do that? Absolutely. Can you be totally silent? Sure.

You can walk in an elevator and say nothing. Yeah. I do it all the time. If I was on one right now, I wouldn't say anything unless I knew the person. See, I can't do that. Can you do that? In an office? Like in a hotel, I can do it.

But can you do it in an office building? Could you walk in this building and say nothing to the person in the elevator? No, I give them a good morning or a good afternoon. If I'm getting off, I'd have a good day. I just give them a little one liner. That's it. It's all you do. I just did it.

There's three people on the elevator with me. I stepped on on the bottom floor. I said, how's it going? and when the other guy stepped off said, have a good day. He said, same to you. It's all it takes. That way, you don't have to have that idle chat.

Just a little greeting. See, I mean, I feel like there's something about me, though, that I either want to say nothing or I feel like I need to relate to him. And if you want to tell them about the Reds. A little bit. Or, you know, some of these people in this building will know me and go, what about the cats this show? That's like I'm going to say, you open up that door.

They want to talk. You can go, you know, it's like a good team. Then, like today, there was a one. on there. She's in there. She's attractive woman like in business gear. And there's something about an attractive woman dressed in business gear. And I'm in shorts and a hoodie that makes me feel like I'm inadequate. Right. Like she's looking at me like, you are a grown man and you are in a business building. Why are you dressed like that? You're coming to work, dress like that? So then I'm like, I want to go, you know, I don't normally dress it like this. But then that's a little one. That would be

silly to say. I fill that one in this building. There's a lot of financial places. There's a lot of financial places. Today I'm in there. Guys are wearing suits and I'm in a draft king's t-shirt with a Kentucky Derby hat. I didn't fill up to the standard of the building. A lot of law offices here. And so you mean you see people and they're in suits. And I know they're probably envying that we're like wearing this. They wish they could. Sure. But I just that for, I really don't like forced interaction. And elevators. are the most, because you're, you're, you can't, I don't know how Shannon, you can say nothing. I don't know how you're able to do that.

If I don't know, if I know the person, obviously I would talk to them. But if it's just some stranger, I don't feel the need to talk to them. If they don't want to talk to me first, then why do I have to feel like I'm the person who has to initiate the conversation? I feel like Kramer on Seinfeld who was like, talking about how you hated like, hey, how was your day? What do you think about this weather? Like, I just, oh, you have a good day. I hope you have a good day. Like, that's such inane chatter that I just don't like it.

I try not to keep it open-ended. Like, how's it going is not actually a question. That's just me acknowledging that you're in here with. So you actually don't want to know how it's going. I say, good morning. How you doing? Something like that. If you said, how's it going?

And they went, well, you know, I get my doctor's results today. Then I would look at where we are in the elevator and hope it goes faster to get to my floor. And that's another thing in the elevator. We all just sit and stare at the number, hoping. that it will come and you just look at it and go, well, maybe it's moving a little slow to there. Like, it's just, I hate it. There are, you come, just a few places where you're kind of trapped in a

combined space like that with somebody where you almost feel like you're forced to have some sort of contact with that person. And this is, and I try to avoid that in life. Can't avoid it when we're in the studio. Now, also, I saw what, did Colin Chandler release his wedding photos? Weddings are in the news a lot with sports. Did you see the wedding? photos. I feel like they were all over.

You put a bunch out when he first had it. Did he put out more? I felt like I saw more yesterday. Were there more wedding? There were some on social media that were circulating again. Yeah, I saw the same thing you did. Are they the same one? He had a press conference yesterday, two days ago. And most of the questions were about his

wedding, so it could just be recirculating. I already could have put on more. I mean, but most of the conversation was what's it like being married. For Colin Chandler, and I feel bad for him is when you talk to him, what are you going to say? Like, you can't just be like, tell me about being a Mormon. Like you can't do that.

That would be rude. So immediately you just come to the wedding because what else are you going to ask him about? Well, he and Trent Noah each spoke for 15 minutes. I wasn't there. What are they going to ask Trent Noah? Harlan, Mountain Lomba? It was like, how's workouts going if you put on weight? A lot of basketball questions.

When he got to Chandler, they were like, do you have a hammer? Do you have a screwdriver? Yeah, I mean, what do you watch on TV? They treat him like he's come from another planet. No, I mean it. Like, I feel bad for the guy. They treat him like, oh, you're allowed. to drink caffeine and you can tell he's like so I feel like the media needs collectively agree

just treat Colin Chandler as a normal person yes he's married but immediately the questions are you know do you cook for your wife what's it like what's not the bed you sleep on yeah and I just we wouldn't do that for anybody else I kind of feel bad for him because the only thing most Most of our fans, I think this guy is going to be good. Like, I think he's going to be, Ryan, really good, hopefully here next year. But I feel like sometimes all of us treat him as an alien that has just dropped here from out of space. This married kid who's been on a mission and all this. And we go, whoa, who makes the soup?

It was to Aberdeen or to Noah like What's Denzel Aberdeen like? Oh, you played against Diabate last year. Tell me about the freshman coming in and Chandler's like, Hannah, I know you're out past 9 o'clock. It was like,

he's a player too. Let him speak about basketball. I'm guilty. Yes. I could see your questions. You would be the worst at this because you would go in there and go, you know,

just you give you a hard time. You're having to make up the bed. I went into Firehouse subs like a week ago. The only two people in Firehouse subs was Colin and his wife. That was it. And what did you say to him? I said, hey, I said, congratulations. And it said, oh, thanks.

You guys got married pretty quick. You said you got married pretty quick? Why did you say that? I don't know. I should have left alone. I felt so stupid since it came out of my mouth. You said you got married. You almost judged their marriage.

Yeah. Engaged in December, married in May. Congratulations on the wedding is good enough. You could have stopped. I should have just stopped right then. Why did you give your opinion about amount of their courtship. I don't know. And this is kind of made a good therapy for me to get this out of my system. I've been felt horrible about it ever since I said that. Can you imagine,

just flip it, you get married to yoga girl. Okay. After you dated for five months. And a complete stranger walked up to you and said, well, you guys should have got married quick. Uh-huh. Yep. I don't think you'd like it. I wouldn't. I definitely wouldn't. There's someone more than twice your age. I'm being a reporter and having to have a follow-up question or a follow-up comment. Of all the stuff to ask you, look back of your point, we immediately go to with him about the fact he's married. You make my point. Well, not we, you, in Firehouse Subs, not even at a press conference. No.

Sitting there trying to enjoy his footlong. And I interrupted. 859-2802287. Is Ask Anything Wednesday, I'm already getting angry about the... I'm sorry about the bark in the park. You're never going to convince me it's a positive. Well, here's the positive part about it. Like when they had it at the Legends game the last week,

fairy tale pet adoptions, they do it and they try to get pets adopted at the event. Okay. So you can adopt, man? You can adopt some of them? I'm for that. Yeah. Can they get adopted outside of the stadium?

Usually it's out in the concourse. You're right. I'm for it. Yeah. But when I get to my seat and Fluffy is sitting next to me drooling, it's a little different. We'll be right back. Okay.

Welcome back, Tegi Sports Radio. 8992-220287. Folks writing in for Ask Anything Wednesday questions. All right, I like these. Number one, for all three of you, what's the scoop you've had the most right about?

And what have you been the most wrong about? Let's do right about. For me, there's probably two, Billy Gillespie, or excuse me, Mark Stoops being hired at Kentucky. I had that like a few hours before everybody else and then was left floundering in the wind because no one would confirm it. And I got really nervous and then they ended up doing it. and then Louisville having their national championship taken away, which I put out a couple hours before it was announced, and everybody just got furious at me saying I was lying,

and then it ended up happening. So those are probably two most. What about you most? Correct. The one I probably got the most enjoyment out of is when I said that Boom Williams had left the UK football team and the beat riders for UK are all chastising me saying I was, that's ridiculous, that's stupid, and it ended up being true. Got it?

I think I know yours. Mine's pretty up. Matt Roe are. Yeah, this is Matt Roe. That will never be top saying that you'll never beat that one. That our fourth best receiver is going to start at quarterback. It's amazing you got that right. Then what's the one you've been the most wrong about?

Was it a few weeks ago? Yes. This summer? Yeah. The recruiting trail, the last April and May, probably the whole time I really kind of swung and missed. Yeah, I think you missed out. Still felt good with the information, though, and I still feel good about it.

It just didn't happen. He's changed their mind. I'm trying to think mine's got to be a recruit that I said would come here. Probably, I think I was pretty strong on that Andrews. Andrew Wiggins was going to come because, no, no, no, no, it wasn't. Shabazz Muhammad. Yeah. Because Cal was certain Shabazz Muhammad would come and then he didn't come.

So I was pretty adamant that they were going to get him and then they didn't. What about you? Nothing's jumping out. I'm sure I've been wrong a thousand times, but I can't think of a major one. Probably a recruit where I had him going to Kentucky and didn't, but nothing's coming to mine right now. I'm wrong so much. They all just bleed together.

One person writes, Matt, what's the word, what Charles' worst first date? I had one date where I met someone and they had just completely Shannon catfish me. Like they sent me pictures that were not them. Oh, that's bad. And I don't mean like didn't like they, it was young because, you know, that'll happen. Like people are younger or whatever like they, then in their picture. This just wasn't the same person. And so that was bad because I had to be like, you're not the person in the pictures.

And they're like, but you would like me. And I was like, you get to know me. And then one time I got in like a legit. legitimate, like, argument to the where the person stormed out. I can see that. That checks out. This was a long time ago. This was like 2004.

Carrie Bush election had just happened. I thought you were going to name the person when you said Carrie. Her name was Carrie Bush. Carrie Bush had happened. And she was insisting that even though I was for Carrie, she was insisting the election had been stolen. She was like a, what do you call it? Stop the Steel before anybody else.

And I was like, no, it didn't. And she got so mad she stormed out. So actually I was taking up for the GOP in it. What's your worst date? To be honest, I've not had a... Because you get married the moment your other relationship ends. Locks them in. Locks them down right away. I know I had one in high school where the girl had bad breath.

That's probably what we did it. And we never went out ever again, ever. Yeah, that's not a very good story. What about you? Nothing major where we're just sitting down in a restaurant. It's the two of us and we're arguing about Kerry Bush. But like in college, a few group settings where they're... I'm brought in with a group of dates and they brought in and we immediately don't click and just slowly drift apart as the night goes on.

That almost never works. I'm not going to say never, but it almost never works. Shannon? Every date on it's just lunch. I mean, I got no-showed. How does it get any worse than your first date no-showing you? You got no-show multiple times. Multiple times and I said enough of this. I'm wasting time, effort, and money and not even getting a date out of it. What's going on here? I generally try to have a good first date regardless, just because like you're stuck with the person. Why not try to have some fun? But the second one decides whether you have a second one or not. Let's go to Adam. Go ahead, Adam.

Hey, Matt. I'm a dog person. I've had a dog every single year of my life, and I'm almost 40. But I agree with you 110%. The park at the park is the worst sports promo by far. Thank you. It's ridiculous. I don't want to be around other people's dogs.

I'm not bringing my dog to the park. Thank you. I mean, we don't do it in anything else. We don't have bark at the court, bark on the ice, bark on the course. Doesn't sound as good. But is it just because it rhymes? Bring your dog to work day, you know. Yeah, don't know to bring your dog to work day.

I don't think they let people bring their dogs to school, do they? No, but like a UK, if you're emotional support dog, they're letting those guys in now. Well, that's a whole other thing. And I don't want to get into that. I don't, you know, I don't, because I am sure there are people out there. there that need it. But the amount of dogs that have found their way on the planes with Vesson that say support, that did not exist even 10 years ago. No. But I don't want to get into that, but I'm with you, Adam. Go ahead. Yeah. So my question is, if you could take away one loss out of

these three, what would it be? If you could get rid of the 92 Duke loss, the 97 Arizona loss, or the 2015 Wisconsin loss, what are you doing? So the one that hurt me the most, I appreciate the calls without question 92 Duke. But now that I have the step back of history, I think the one that would have been best for the Kentucky basketball program as a whole would be 2015 Wisconsin. We would have been undefeated, probably be the last team to ever go undefeated. I think that team, if they win the title, would have been considered one of the three or four best teams in the history of college basketball. I think John Caliperi's legacy is different if they win that game. I think John Caliperi probably retires gracefully at Kentucky if they win that game.

So if you're just talking to one that I wish we had the most, we were going to beat Duke in the finals. I would have said 2015, Wisconsin. Because I think if we won in 92, we probably still would have lost in the final four. Because that was a great final four. Oh, yeah. So I would say 2050. If you go undefeated and you win a title, the entire narrative of John Caliperi completely changes here. completely changes.

He looks like a different coach historically if he wins that game. Historically, one of the greatest ever. They pull that off, go undefeated and win the title that season. So, yeah, I would say that one. What about you? That one hurt me the most, but I'm going to be different and take 97 because it's a guaranteed title. I think Kentucky would have beat Duke in the championship in 2015, but, you know, it's not

guaranteed. The three options you've given me here, if they beat Arizona, that's just a guaranteed banner up in Rupp Arena. That would have been a three-peat, too? Yeah, three-peat. Certainly back-to-back. who knows what would happen with everything moving forward. But I'll take the Arizona one just to get another ring.

Yeah, that is the one that would guarantee you a ring. Would you take 97 over 2014? Well, in the championship game? Yes. No, selfishly I was there. Cal Air was just getting started running. I would take 2014 there. Yeah.

I understand that. That makes sense. We'll take back here. Ask anything Wednesday. 859-2-80-2287, KSR. personal injury attorney. Call TJ. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back to TeguSports Radio. Tomorrow we are in Independence, Kentucky, at the listener's house for the KSR comes to you.

Do they have a dog? Apparently he just sent me a text. He must have been listening, heard the conversation. He has two dogs. Yeah. But he's agreed to put them up while we're there for the show tomorrow morning so you will have no worries. I mean, I don't say it to be rude. I just, I cannot do a show with a dog licking my crotch during the video of it. I cannot, I just can't do it. So I appreciate him being considerate about that. Yes, he's very considerate. Most of my friends are very good about when they put the dog because I just, you know, I can't. So that's very nice of him. So tell him, thank you. Most people are understanding that some people are just a little leery around a dog. I've said this before, but I have a friendship that basically ended because I said,

I can't stay at your house unless you put the dog up. And they said, well, we can't put the up. And I said, okay, that's fine. I'll just stay at a hotel. We'll see you after. And it just caused like, I really had, it's never been the same with him. And that was 20 years ago. And I, I don't know what else I could have done. People just have to understand some people just, but I wasn't demanding he put the dog away. I was just like, I can't stay at your house. Because he had huge greyhounds. Like huge. Yeah. And there were two of them. And I was like, I can't, I can't, I can't do it. But that's how it ends. And sometimes that's how the great, sometimes that's how the great things end. I, before, before, before we get the phones, I got to pick.

sure you ask night, I said to you guys, I'm not going to post it because I don't encourage this behavior, but somebody was at Jeff Ruby's last night, saw Vince Merrow. He was sitting at, he was sitting at bar by himself, and they watched him and no one like was there. I love to eat by myself. That's what I would prefer. But it is that in a nutshell, that is what I'm talking about. But difference between Lexington. Because would that happen at Lexington? Do you think he could go two minutes without being back. No, I've been there many times sitting by myself at the bar when he's walked in and he's been escorted to a table that's waiting. There's a mob of people wanting to shake his hand. And he loves it. Drink food already on the table, ready to go. And he loves it. Yes.

Like I, this is where he and I are different. I actually would like that scenario. But he wouldn't. And that picture, which I think he waited until he looked sad when they sent the picture and was like sad vans. I don't want viz to be sad. But I did see that picture. The restaurant was full and he was by himself. I was like, that's the difference between Lexington and Louisville right there. He looked pitiful. And it made me feel bad for him sitting there all by himself. Shannon, did you feel bad within the picture I sit here? No, I mean, he knew what he was doing. He signed up for this. Nobody made him go to Louisville. He chose this. But, you know, there he is hanging out. But the Jeff Ruby's manager in Louisville just got one over the Jeff Ruby's

manager in Lexington. That's right. Got the regular visits coming. That picture looked like it was probably taken in like Idaho. So, way out of Kentucky, and it's in Louisville. He did look sad. He did look sad. Ben, go ahead, Ben. Hey, Matt, how you doing? Good.

Ask anything Wednesday. Who are? So I work with the special needs adult in the summer. I'm a teacher during the school year, obviously, and he is terrified of dogs. So every time, like, we have to have three little kids, too, and we have to, and they love dogs, so it's like a Tetris game whenever he comes and visits. So, like, we have to put the dog in all different places. around the house to hide him so so so kevin our our kid i work with he he just

i'm not exactly like that i'm just saying like it's not it's not exactly the same thing he he just he just when he was a young he just had a bad experience with the dog and and and he just will not he cannot handle them and my my kids love dogs so it's it's a Tetris game. Also, today is my parents, Howard and Debbie's 54th wedding anniversary. Well, happy anniversary to Howard and Debbie. Happy anniversary. Howard and Debbie. To Kentucky. Appreciate the call. Howard and Debbie. Happy anniversary. Hope you have a wonderful one. Did you know, Ryan, you know the Meadowbrook golf course here in Lexington? Oh, yes.

The par three course? Have you played it? I played it a lot back in the day. So you know, you know it. Yes. Do you know who owns it? The city? No. I don't know this. You know who owns it?

No, I thought it was just a city course. Do you know who owns it? I have no idea. No. I just learned this morning. The Fayette County Public Schools. They do. Own it.

Sit right there behind Southern Middle Schools. There's a story that there are people say, now they lease it to the city. Okay. But there's a story that in the in the Herald about how it's, you know, you know, Fayette County Public Schools are trying to raise money to balance their budget. They need to raise $16 million. And there are people saying, why don't you sell that golf course? I don't know how much you could get.

Probably not $16 million, but maybe a few million. Because you're a school district. Yeah. Why are you using the golf course? And I'm sitting there thinking, I love Meadowbrook. It's awesome for people learning how to play golf. Sure. Yeah. I'm sure someone Drew would buy it.

and might even turn it into like a really fun place. Uh-huh. A par three course may be put in line. Yes. Yep. All that. Don't you think, don't you think that the city, the, what,

why does a school district need a golf course? I had, I mean, like I said, it's located in the backyard of Southern middle school, Southern elementary school. And that may be part of what they worry about is if you make a big party thing back there,

it's behind the school. But wouldn't it be awesome to have it lit during the summer? And where young guy, young kids can go play golf out there. We've talked about this before, but I can't remember what the name of. There used to be a par three course in Lexington that was like that, right? With lights. There was.

It was over on. Was it on Zandale? Yeah. I think it was off Mason Heedley. Mason Heedley. Yeah. And it had lights. I think so.

And it was, I don't remember if it was good, but it was like a social thing. Uh-huh. I feel like that would work, Drew. Don't you in Lexington? Yeah. and I haven't seen Meadowbrook in a long time. You used to play it a lot. Someone recently told me,

reason as in like this week, that they're in a league at Meadowbrook. So they're at least still getting a little bit of attention. I agree with you if you could blow it up and make it even better with lights and everything. Because it's just been a piece of lay out. It's a field. It's a field. But you can probably put a little bit of money into it and make it into something nice.

Now, you do have that school there. And I don't know how that would affect things having that school because it's back behind the school. But I feel like, Shannon, you know, everybody goes to top golf. Oh, yeah. Don't you think a par three course with lights and like make it a party thing? Don't you think that would work? Oh, yeah. I think it would. But I don't know, like, you guys don't have top golf in Lexington though, do you? We don't, but that's why I think it would work. It's that we don't have top golf. So it could be our version of top golf. And the Fayette County

Public Schools could get some of this money that they're trying to get instead of raising everybody's tax. I would love a night league. Like, yeah. You know, every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. You go play 9 o'clock. Yeah. And even if they just did it when schools out, like June, July, most of August, just do it for two and a half months,

then you can have the lights on and, you know, play at night. Well, I would think you could have it just when the school clock, like, okay, so until 3 o'clock it's not open, but then it opens at 3 o'clock. Do that. You could do that, right? Yeah. I mean, people are hitting golf balls left and right during

school hours out there anyway now. It is a dangerous place for people beginning because the fairways, you just keep passing each other. Yeah, you can get hit out and pass your head. That's exactly right. You can get hit easily if you want there. And then they have that one hole where you hit a driver. Yeah, first time I ever played it, that just starts part three. I'm carrying like a wedge and a non-iron and then suddenly we're on a 300-yard par four. There is a 300-yard hole that you have to, that comes out of nowhere. It's designed. I think you're supposed to be able to hit every club in your bag, right? Yeah, but really, people are good. can just take a wedge and play.

Nick, go ahead, Nick. Well, good morning, fellas. Good morning. So last season was really tough for me. My family is a Kentucky, Ohio State, Arkansas family. You guys can see where I'm going with this. Last year was tough enough to talk to my dad about the Arkansas loss, but I was at the playoff game and at the shoe,

dressed in Kentucky gear because we were playing Ohio State basketball that night. Oh, yeah, I forgot. We did. Yeah. It was so tough. They come over to the speaker on the stadium. They're like, this just in Ohio State fans.

You just beat the Kentucky Wildcats in the garden. So that was tough. My question, because I've got, I want vengeance next year. Who, what game do you all have circled next season? We've got a schedule coming up.

I just want to know here from each of you, which game is talking about basketball? I mean, the one that I'd like to, I mean, I think it's a good question. I appreciate the call. If you were to,

if you were to say what game next year is the most, is the most important for you to win. You could win any of the games next year on the schedule. And that would be home Indiana, home North Carolina, neutral Gonzaga, Road Louisville, Champions Classic Michigan State, the other classic St. John's or SEC games. Ryan, you get to pick one to win.

What do you pick it? Actually, think about it and you let me know because I do want to discuss this. You get one game out of those that I guarantee you a victory. You know, last year the answer would have been beat Cal in Arkansas. But this year, I think it's a lot more choices you could pick. Which one are you picking? And raise a glass for the cats.

podcast. How hard can it be with the Anna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, What sex? Dating at 45. How hard can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard.

Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to Tegu Sports Radio. All right, answer that question for me, Ryan. Which game you want to win the most? I think me as a fan, got to beat Cal. You can't let Cowell beat you two years in a row. At Arkansas. At Arkansas, I think kind of eases the sting of him winning at Rupp last year.

Drew. I didn't need any time to think about it. Didn't need the break. Louisville's getting way too chesty over there. Got to beat them in the Yom Center and remind them that it's business as usual, even though their coaches keep changing. considering there's a good chance that two weeks after we play the game, we might lose to them in football.

I think we got to beat them in basketball. They need to calm down over there. Mine's going to be at Louisville, one, at Arkansas, two, and then three, probably whichever of all those other teams ends up the best. You can't lose to Indiana and North Carolina both at Rupp. I think it be nice to beat Alabama or Auburn, just because it feels like. We haven't beat, I mean, Alabama, it's kind of had our number.

Yeah, they did. A little bit. So that's what I would say, Shannon. The answer never changes for me. It's always Louisville. They're your biggest rival for a reason. So I think it's always Louisville, regardless if they're good or they're terrible. You want to be Louisville.

Yeah, I think for me, the Louisville one is probably the one that goes the best. Have you seen the story, Shannon, about the dude on the bike in Iran? No. No. Okay. So there's a guy. who on TikTok, he rides his bike from like one end of a continent to another. So at one point he rode his bike from the United States all the way down to whatever the

tip of South America would be. I guess maybe part of Argentina down at the very tip. Then I think he rode his bike maybe from, I don't know what the other one was, maybe across Asia or something. So he's doing a thing now where he was going to ride his bike from England to Japan. That's quite ambitious. England to Japan. And he got to Iran. So to get there,

you have to go through Iran. Well, his timing was not great. Right? Because he gets to Iran like a week and a half ago. And his timing is even worse because he was supposed to be in Tehran like two days ago.

So he hears, and I guess now, Shannon, you will be arrested if you are in Iran as American right now. Yeah, so I think I would avoid that. So he's posting all this on TikTok. So he posts a video on TikTok. It's called like bike, bike through, bike to Japan or something is his thing. And he posts a TikTok and he's like, I'm in Iran. I'm not trying to show you where I am because I will be arrested. But hey, there's no communication. If anyone can get me out of here. it's scary if you watch the video and so everybody I've seen people go what are we going to do

then last night he posts okay someone has said help me get to Azerbaijan a visa I've hired this guy and it's a guy to drive me the eight hours to the Azerbaijan border and then he takes the video of them going they get pulled over by the military he acts like he's Spanish which he doesn't even look Spanish so I don't know how he pulled that off they get through then he gets to the border he crosses the border and there's all this media waiting for him

because they're like looking for Americans trying to get out of Iran I just I highly recommend it's fascinating watching this dude I give him credit he's very calm during all this but then he just gets to Azerbaijan Shannon gets back on his bike and starts riding

towards Japan again first thing I would do is stop posting on TikTok I mean they can find your location and when you're using that phone. So that's kind of dumb just to get a few likes and clicks, you know, and potentially risk getting thrown into prison or killed. Do you have the account, Drew, or you pulled it up? It's like, it's something like bike to Japan or something. But it is, there's like his last three or four videos, you ought to watch just for the, you can see how scared he is. Yeah. And you can understand why he would be. I mean, he knew this going into the country, right?

Well, he didn't know that Israel was going to, like, he didn't know Israel and Iran were going to go to war with each other, I think, when he went. So that kind of was Shane, and I would not be publicizing where I am. Excuse me, it's Ride with Ian. Ride with Ian. Ride with Ian. And his last three or four videos are the ones to watch.

His count of views went way up. He was getting like 5,000, and now they're each getting a million. Yeah, Ian needs to calm down. He's going to get it. himself killed. I'm in. I'm American. You just said why he's got to keep recording.

It wasn't picking up when he did. Yeah, but is it worth it? No. No. If he wants the likes. I don't know, man. I just want to get out of there for my own. Forget about being arrested.

I wouldn't want to get hit with a missile. Amen. You know? Yeah. So, Austin, go ahead, Austin. Hey, guys. So it feels like college football is really, you know, far away, but it's really just around the corner,

especially with NBA winding down. And everybody, everybody's going to start turning their minds to the ball coming up in the fall. And it's, I don't know if it's a question or as much of a statement, but I've talked to a lot of family, friends, and my buddies about this, but this is the first time in a long time that I think a lot of people feel the same way, but I don't really have any emotion towards Kentucky football this fall. And I know I've always heard the saying of you'd rather be hated than have no.

opinion about something because that just means you're irrelevant. But I'm not really angry. I'm not excited. And I'm having a hard time finding something to lean on. We don't really have a star player. Vince was kind of a perfect. I don't think you're the only one. I don't think you're the only one like this. I appreciate the call. I think there are a lot of people that are like that, right, who just they don't have, they don't have a opinion either way. Yeah. And that's It's kind of sad. The football program would work so hard to get us all excited about what they were doing over there. Every year was a good year.

Now they kind of fell backwards a little bit. And the caller's right. There's no like one guy we can kind of hang our hat on because we don't know about. Is Calzada going to be the guy? You know, the running back from Nebraska going to be the guy. You know, we don't know that yet. This is the least emotion I've had about a season since Joker's second year, his last year. In terms of, I didn't expect anything to happen that year.

and I kind of feel that way this year too. Yeah, I'm in a weird spot because I'm really excited about the season, but I also don't have high hopes. What makes you excited? Just football season in general going to the stadium. I'm excited to see how the team actually looks with so many new pieces. I'm genuinely looking forward to it. But at the same time, I have a very low bar for how I think it's going to turn out.

I'm in a weird headspace where I can't wait for it to get here. I want to get out there and watch it. But I also don't think it's going to go very well. I hope to be wrong. Me too. I mean, I hope that like, I hope they'd be. beat Toledo and then we go into that old Miss game and it's wild and it's exciting and maybe we win but I just I'm with the caller I do not feel that yet hopefully we will we will get to will go ahead

will got like a minute um hey Matt um so first I want to ask about um so what happens with club blue NIO and Commonwealth pauses with this new um NCAA ruling um do they just like disappear what happens to all the money in there but that's going to take me more than 30 seconds or response. I'll do that when we get back. We go ahead. Yeah. And I wanted to thank Ryan for being a guest speaker and MC at our banquet last night. Yeah, I heard you were an MC. You

agreed to everything. What was this one? 10th region, baseball, Hall of Fame induction ceremony, their inaugural class. MacDady, MacDickard kind of headed the class. Don't call him MacDade. He is the MacDaddy. Don't call him MacDade. He's a grown man. So we had 10 inductees. Don't call me. You can't call another

grown man, Magdad. Oh, he is the Macdadi. Okay. The more you say it, the worse it is. But it was a lot of fun. We'll put this all together all by himself. The first inducted. How many people got inducted? Ten. And you were the MC? Yeah. How long did it take? Like 45 minutes. Did you do your Calipari joke? I didn't. I was going to, but I didn't. You're very nice. Good.
